A Marriott Fairfield Inn, a New York City residential skyscraper and a boutique hotel in Portland, OR, likely aren't the first projects that come to mind when you think of offsite, or permanent modular construction, but they are exactly where the industry is headed. In fact, the aforementioned skyscraper — the 363-unit, 32-story Pacific Park — will be the tallest modular building in the world when complete — representing a significant stride for the offsite and modular industries.

Modular building, however, is only one type of offsite construction, according to Tom Hardiman, executive director of the Modular Building Institute (MBI). "Other offsite construction processes include … wall panels, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) systems and bathroom pods," he said. Offsite construction simply means a building's components, while assembled on site, are built elsewhere, Hardiman noted. According to the MBI, modular construction currently makes up 3% of new commercial construction in North America, but that figure is expected to edge up to 5% over the next five years.

"Our industry has been around for a long time," said Randy Duggan, business development manager with modular builder Guerdon Enterprises in Boise, ID. "It's just that the current construction market conditions are now such that developers are looking for alternatives."

WHY not considering modular for your next development project?

One of the defining elements of development projects is its architecture. It doesn't matter whether a school has ivy-covered brick buildings or modern steel and glass apartment structure, the character is shaped, in large part, by its buildings and the atmosphere they create. It is essential for any building to provide sufficient housing to meet its needs, but it's just as important for that building to be attractive, comfortable and functional. Meeting that standard isn't always easy.

Often, the most significant barrier to developing new housing is cost. Many projects are struggling to make ends meet, and the idea of raising additional funds for new projects is daunting. A second challenge is timing. No GC or planner wants the community to be disrupted by construction during the year. But it's unrealistic to try to confine housing projects.

Long-term construction can undermine a the goal of providing a comfortable and attractive experience. Construction sites can pose safety risks and staff who have to pass by heavy equipment and other construction elements on their way around. And safety is even more of a concern during weekends, be less aware of potential hazards.

One potential solution to these challenges that is generally overlook is modular housing.

Modular Building Systems have been around for more than a century. With modular, individual modules are built off-site in a factory to the specifications of developers, GC and planners or architects. When complete, the newly constructed residences are transported to site and put in place.

The two primary advantages to this approach are cost and completion time. If properly designed and constructed, modular construction can be developed for less then to equal of the cost of traditional construction and still meet the highest quality standards. Because the modular sections for the Apartment project or Hotel, Student housing or Senior housing are constructed off-site , the majority of the development process has no physical impact on the job. Once the completed product is transported to the site, the setup can be completed in a matter of weeks.

Modular Building Systems is a method of construction, not a building type. It greatly differs from temporary buildings, such as construction trailers or mobile homes.

“These are custom-designed commercial buildings just like their site-built counterparts. Using modular does not change the design, structural system, or finish materials options available to the owner and architect. The only difference is in the method of construction.”

After the design is finalized with an architect, construction plans are sent to a factory where the majority of the building is erected. PMC uses prefabricated elements for as many building components as possible. Everything from walls and mechanical systems to painting and carpet can be completed on the assembly line.

Features

Advantages

Benefits

1

Versatility

Modular components can be easily expanded, relocated or reused.

This flexibility allows them to adapt to future changes or expansion at your business.

2

Quick Installation

Modular components are pre-engineered so that they can be assembled quickly during installation.

A shorter install time results in a minimized effect on overall plant productivity.

3

Clean Installation

Prefabricated components require minimal on-site construction and fabrication, which reduces dust and other contaminants during installation.

This results in less disruption to your facility and minimizes an effect on your employee productivity.

4

Reduced Construction Labor Costs

Prefabricated components install quickly and easily.

A quick install results in a lower cost of labor when compared to conventional construction.

5

Ease of Coordination

PortaFab supplies single source installation through a factory-trained distributor network.

This provides end customers with a turnkey process that includes local support and assistance.

6

Reduced Design Time

Modular components are pre-engineered.

This significantly reduces the amount of engineering and architectural time required to design your building.
